MixPixie’s Terms & Conditions

Introduction

These terms and conditions apply to the use of this website www.makingmusicmix.org.uk (the 'Website'). By visiting Making Music Mix or by placing an order, you confirm that you have read these terms and conditions and agree to adhere to them in their entirety. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must not use this Website.

We may update or vary our terms and conditions from time to time, so please check this page for the latest version whenever you visit www.makingmusicmix.org.uk. We can also update and vary the terms and conditions by notice on other pages of this Website.

Trading details

Whenever you buy a product through this Website, you will be contracting with MixPixie Limited, a limited company registered in England & Wales under company number 7557887.

We use our reasonable endeavours to make sure that every product on The Website is shown accurately and that prices are correct. However, occasionally there may be small variations in colour, typefaces and layout. MixPixie disclaims all representations and warranties that the content or information on this Website is accurate, complete, up-to-date or does not infringe the rights of any third party.

Placing your order

When you place an order with us (by choosing an item and completing our online checkout process), we will send you an acknowledgement by email. This will detail the products you have ordered. Please note that your completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your order.

Our acceptance of your order only takes place when we despatch it. A ‘purchase contract’ between you and The Website is therefore made at the point of despatch, rather than at the point of payment. If you have cancelled your order, or if we notify you that we cannot accept your order, then no purchase contract will have been made.

From time to time, we may not be able to accept an order for the following reasons:

If, unfortunately, we do not have your chosen goods in stock

Where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment

If there has been a pricing or product description error

If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions

If the order for personalised products contains reference to any copyrighted information where you have not obtained permission

If your order for personalised products contains content which is threatening, defamatory, obscene, indecent, seditious, offensive, pornographic, abusive, liable to incite racial hatred, discriminatory, menacing, scandalous, inflammatory, blasphemous, in breach of confidence, in breach of privacy or which may cause annoyance or inconvenience

We reserve the right to cancel your order at any time and issue a full refund. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Personalising your group’s CD

Making Music Mix aims to provide you with a fast, high-quality service, so any products you order are immediately sent for production. Please double-check your order on screen and your acknowledgement email carefully to check that all the details are correct. We cannot refund items where the personalisation has been misspelt due to an error made by you.

If you are uploading a photo, images must be in JPEG format. Any other format such as Word documents and PDFs cannot be accepted. For best results, we advise that you make the image dimensions approximately 1,000 pixels for the smallest edge of your photos. We print images at 300DPI (Dots Per Inch), so if you are scanning the image we recommend you use this setting. If you try to upload a photo that has a lower resolution or image size, we will accept it. However, an on screen warning will appear to let you know that the image might not print very well.

Music copyright

Under no circumstances, are you able to make copies of the CDs and downloads that you purchase from Making Music Mix. Any customers caught doing so will be reported directly to the BPI (British Phonographic Institute) immediately.

Ordering multiple CDs

Multiple items can be ordered at the same time and will be despatched on the same day, but may arrive in separate packages.

Payment

At Making Music Mix, you can pay for your goods using the following credit or debit cards:

Supply of CDs

The CDs sold on our website are manufactured and shipped from MixPixie HQ.

Delivery

During the order process, Making Music Mix will notify you of the despatch dates available and the expected time frame for receiving your order. We will also let you know of any delivery charges prior to the acceptance of your order.

If you order more than one CD we still send each CD separately to you so that they can fit through your letterbox.

General despatch information

Please note the despatch date is the day we give your orders to Royal Mail, NOT the day your CD will be delivered.

All our CDs are posted by First Class or Airmail. The postage cost is inclusive of the stamp, envelope(s) and packaging.

Returns and refunds

At Making Music Mix, we always try to send your products in perfect condition. However, very occasionally, a problem can arise. In the unlikely event that a product is faulty, or it is damaged in delivery or is the wrong item, we ask you to contact us to let us know of the problem as soon as possible. We will then advise you on whether you are eligible for a refund or replacement.

Reporting a problem

If for any reason you are not happy with your Making Music Mix order, please contact our Customer Service Team. Call 00 44(0)20 7223 0200 or email support@mixpixie.com. You will need to quote your order number, your email address you have registered with and have the address and details on the problem with your order.

We aim to acknowledge any complaint within seven working days, (usually it takes 1-2 days). We may ask you to take a photograph of the product to help us communicate with our suppliers and correct any future problems. Should it be necessary, we will then advise you how to return your item.

Returning products and issuing refunds

Although we take great care in making your CDs, it is possible that very occasionally, one or two could be faulty. If you think your CD is faulty, we will ask you to return it to us within seven days of receipt.

Your right to return items to us in accordance with these terms and conditions is in addition to any other statutory rights you may have.

If you are eligible for a refund, we will reimburse the price you have paid for the order onto the credit or debit card that you paid with. Alternatively, we may offer to remake and resend the CD free of charge. Please note it is not our policy to offer both a refund and resend.

All returns must be sent to:

St Johns Studios,
6-8 Church Road,
Richmond,
Surrey,
TW9 2QA

Refunds cannot be given if the fault is a result of your own actions such as product misuse or if personalisation is mis-spelt or if you have uploaded an image of a low resolution or size.

Multiple refund requests

If there are persistent claims for refunds from the same individual or group of individuals, we reserve the right not to issue a refund or replace an order. We may refuse to take any future orders from any such customers and will inform them of our decision in writing, via email or over the telephone.
